ABSTRACT
This chapter cautions against allowing any needs—however forward-looking—to lock the design into fixed paths. Avoiding programmatic determinism and affording successive generations the opportunity to participate in space share the idea of removing restrictions, allowing buildings to unfold continuously through time. Interestingly, while Weeks proposed the term indeterminate buildings to convey something not precisely fixed, the patterns of corridors he advocated tend to direct and precipitate change. Weeks established a spatial and functional division by considering the distribution of MEP services separately from the streets or corridors intended for people, however, this chapter treats all forms of horizontal circulation as conceptually similar. Perhaps by becoming spaces unto themselves, places of interaction and occupation, corridors become less anticipatory and more indeterminate. The conception of an indeterminate living architecture finds in its indefinite reality an infinite possibility.
